Quick overview:
Do you often need the Run dialog and are annoyed that it is not there? We'll show you how to bring Run back into the Start menu in just a few simple steps.
[By Raimund Machacek]
If the Execute command has simply disappeared, you can restore it by following the instructions below:
- Right-click on the Start menu button
- Select "Properties"
- Now click on the button "Customize..."
- Now place a tick in front of "Display "Execute""
- Confirm with "OK"
You should now find the Run dialog again as usual under Start.
Founded Windows Tweaks as a teenager in the 90s. His helpful PC tricks made it Germany's most visited Windows site (at the time Sandro looked like this). He then went on to write elsewhere, for example for PC-Praxis, Computer Bild and PCWorld in the USA. Microsoft also poached him from us. Now Sandro is back, finally sharing his tweaks here again. For a stress-free digital everyday life. You can reach Sandro via e-mail.
